Who is Conor Galvin? The Apprentice 2026 candidate and photobooth business owner

After much anticipation, The Apprentice is returning tonight (29th January) with a brand new set of candidates, all of whom are armed with business plans hoping to impress Lord Alan Sugar.

Following in the footsteps of reigning champ Dean Franklin, the candidates will be taking part in a demanding run of tasks that will take them across London and beyond, testing their instincts for branding, selling and negotiation.

Tonight, for the first time ever, Lord Sugar's boardroom will move to Hong Kong as the candidates complete a task in one of the world's most vibrant trading hubs.

One of the candidates ready for the challenge is Conor Galvin - but what is his business plan? Read on to learn more about The Apprentice 2026 candidate.

Who is Conor Galvin?

Occupation: Photobooth business owner

Location: Cork, Ireland

Conor Galvin is the owner of a photobooth company, Press Print Paper, a photobooth with a storytelling twist.

He initially went to university to study medicine before dropping out and going on to graduate in law and business, though he was still unsure what direction he wanted to go in.

"Building my business changed that," he said. "It gave me confidence, purpose and a place where my energy and creativity finally made sense. I'm not a traditional corporate candidate, and I'm not trying to be. My work is fun and original, but behind it I'm someone who bounces back fast, thinks creatively and isn’t afraid to show personality."

What is Conor Galvin's business plan?

Conor is hoping to expand his photobooth business, by setting up hubs in London, Manchester and Birmingham.

He explained: "With Press Print Paper, every photo becomes its own story and every event guest becomes the cover star. Whether it's a vintage newspaper, a comic book cover, a wanted poster, an art deco print or a circus-themed design, I want to bring storytelling into weddings, birthdays and corporate events, creating fun, unique and memorable prints that people will still smile at years later."

Does Conor Galvin have social media?

He sure does, you can follow Conor @conorgalv on Instagram, as well as the social media for his business @pressprintpaper.

The Apprentice returns on Thursday 29th January at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
